Greetings from Canberra! On our cruise to Rottnest Island on Tuesday, the captain recommended this location to us. What a cool place to visit, a bit freaky but cool nonetheless. Lovely views, too. Answers sent and have attached the photo with no evidence of what's here (as requested). TFTC, great to nab an old 2004 cache!

Day #2. I have had WAGB, and caching in WA, on my todo list for some time. I contemplated booking in earlier in the year but couldnt commit. Two weeks ago I decided I might just be able to make it work. So a mad scramble began. Last minute flights, accommodation and cache plans - tick, tick, tick! After being awake for almost 24hrs yesterday, I enjoyed a good nights rest and it is time to go again. Focusing on some caches and LGAs north of the river today, this is just one of the many great caches found.A cool spot to explore although the location of the answers certainly provided some confusion. Eventually after backtracking the virtual was able to be completed and the views from GZ were then enjoyed.A big thanks goes to TEAM LANDCRUISER for taking the time to add Glass and Steel to the geocaching map for us all to find and enjoy.----------------------------------------------------------Wow! The fun just never stops.Have you logged your will attend for Victoria's first ever Block Party? (Think Mega but even more special!)Join us on 22-23 March 2025 in Sunbury to celebrate 25 years of geocaching by logging your will attend at [**GCAP417**](https://coord.info/GCAP417).

It was smart of us to visit Kings Park today even though we didn't realise it. Yesterday was the start of Lightscape so not only were we seeing amazing gardens and views, we were treated to lights and music. Before today I wouldn't have said there was such a thing as tree music but what was being played was definitely that. Kings Park is a delightful place. TFTC TEAM LANDCRUISER.

This was a little higher than I like, but the oldie pushed me on Smile ----Decided to do a long road trip, flying in from Canberra, starting and finishing the drive in Port Hedland. It was a long day of flights, followed by 7 days of lots of kilometres. I stopped at every 'point of interest' along the way, I wanted to miss nothing! Earthcaches, Virtuals & AL's are always very good waypoints for interesting things as well.Every night I downloaded a bunch of podcasts and these made the kilometres fall away. This was the first outback road trip I have done where I saw more emu's than kangaroos. The wild camels walking in the desert were also very cool to see. My trusty swag served me very well.

Headed up to Kings Park today for a great Star Wars May the Fourth event and a great opportunity to clean up some of the gems around here!Thank you TEAM LANDCRUISER for placing Glass and Steel for us and others to find and enjoy!

Beautiful (although a bit hot) day in Perth. Not that we can whinge as we’re visiting from Brisbane and enjoying escaping from the humidity. Thank you Perth for your free buses which made getting here a breeze.
After lunch had a beautiful walk around the gardens
Was surprised to see this is an old virtual as I had assumed the walkway wasn’t that old.
Watched a kookaburra watching us.

After an appointment this morning we stopped by the park for a wander through the gardens... I'm not sure why I've left it so long to wander down here though - it was well worth the visit - A great view with a line of low grey clouds strung over the hills on this otherwise lovely winters day... And thanks too TEAM LANDCRUISER, I thoroughly enjoyed the additional considerations and learning more about boodjar. FP added.

After lingering at another virtual cache we put our mind to this one. It being 16:50, we thought we may have left our run too late. But the gate was still open, so in we went.
We got to GZ quickly, and had the place to ourselves. We looked around for the information required and realised we’d walked past some of it. Then we went back to get a photo. Answers sent already.

I checked this out today for my 2000th cache as I wanted something special. Hordes of people around because of the beautiful Sunday weather, but managed all the answers OK in between enjoying the views.
